One of the key features of usable model is to have as small latency as possible to be able to provide services to large number of customers at the same time. In addition to customer satisfaction, with well optimized model, hardware load is reduced which also reduces energy costs needed to perform inference. + +Two main types of software optimizations can be characerized as: +- memory-bound optimizations - main objective of these optimizations is to reduce memory operations (reads and writes) - it is done by e.g. chaining sequence of operations which can be performed one after another immediately (example: ReLU activation) Review comment: ```suggestion - memory-bound optimizations - main objective of these optimizations is to reduce memory operations (reads and writes) - it is done by e.g. chaining operations which can be performed one after another immediately, where input of every subsequent operation is the output of the previous one (example: ReLU activation after convolution) ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
